Abstract
A configuration of a signal detection device is simplified. A signal detection device (100) includes: a resonant tunneling diode (RTD) configured to output an output signal by (i) irradiating a target object (TG) with a terahertz wave and (ii) receiving the terahertz wave that is reflected by the target object (TG); a detection section (20A) configured to detect the output signal from the RTD (1); and a voltage supply section (11A) configured to supply the RTD (1) with DC voltage and AC voltage.
